BYD has introduced the Shark, a mid-size plug-in hybrid pickup truck with a striking design featuring a prominent grille, vertical headlight, and LED contour lighting. The Shark measures 214.8 inches long, 77.6 inches wide, and 75.8 inches tall, making it larger than the Chevrolet Colorado and Ford Ranger but smaller than the Jeep Gladiator.
It is equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine producing over 430 horsepower, capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds. The truck can travel 62 miles on electricity alone according to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). When the battery is at 30% capacity, it can be charged to 80% in approximately 20 minutes.
The Shark offers a payload capacity of 1,841 lbs and a towing capacity of 5,512 lbs. It also features an independent suspension system and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability.
The interior includes a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.8-inch rotating infotainment system, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, voice recognition, and unusual features like a karaoke function with an optional handheld microphone.
Additional highlights include digital key technology, a 50W wireless smartphone charger, a 12-inch head-up display, a surround-view monitor, and a variety of driver assistance systems like Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking.
The starting price for the Shark is 899,980 𝑀𝑋𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 53,427 USD, which undercuts its competitor, the Chevrolet Colorado. This introduction in Mexico reflects BYD’s strategy and hints at the growing competition between Chinese and American automakers in the global market. However, there are no current plans for BYD to enter the U.S. market despite building a factory in Mexico.
